Mome reads Mommy, My daughter's way to spell it when she was younger... It stuck. My son calls me Mome... just like it looks. I now sign all my notes to them "Love, Mome". It's our inside secret and makes them smile. I always want them to smile.

Trip to the Zoo

(Beautiful Elephant sculpture outside the Virginia Zoo)


Last week we stayed busy. Hubster is currently between jobs and we took advantage of his time off by spending time as a family doing things near the house that we usually only get to do on the weekends when I'm not working (which lately isn't often).


Monday we took the kids to the Zoo. Unfortunately we had some behavior issues that caused us to leave early, but the time we did have was fun and a great opportunity for some life long memories and the photos to go with them.




Here's the kids riding a huge turtle sculpture. They thought that was cool.

There was a group of teenagers in front of us taking pictures of each other on this also. Guess it's fun for all ages.


Poor groundhogs. I imagine these "bubbles" feel like giant security cameras to them. Different faces constantly peering at you right where you live. What's not-so-fun for the ground hogs is a blast for everyone else.



There's the poor ground hog. Checking out those strange faces.

This cage is obviously for photo ops. We weren't the only parents trying to get the door shut.



A beautiful Eagle ready to hunt.


Like I said. Our trip was cut short. We renewed our family membership, though, so we will have plenty more trips this Summer...if not before.

  1. Fabulous pictures, looks like you all were having fun, prior to the behavior stuff. Zoo memberships, we always did that too when our's was young. Did you see the big Turtles I posted on Suitcase connected with St. Louis? Thought you might like to show the pictures to the kiddo's.

  2. That's the one thing I don't like about Charlotte, we don't have a zoo. I grew up in Syracuse, NY and even THEY have a zoo. No fair.
